A Modern Take on Vintage


Gene Marshall, the iconic star of Monolithic Studios, wears a modern gown that gives a nod to the Art Deco style of the 1930's and early 1940's. Many of the glamorous gowns of this period made use of color-blocking and geometric shapes.

The color combination of mustard yellow and black was frequently seen during the Art Deco period, not only in fashion but home decor as well.
